This study explored the relationships between theory of mind, social motivation, and children's social competence in middle childhood and early adolescence. The results suggest that individual differences in theory of mind and social motivation are associated with teacher-rated social competence. Both theory of mind ability and social motivation contribute to successful social interaction at school.
This study investigated the links between theory of mind, social motivation, and children's social competence in middle childhood and early adolescence. Two hundred and sixty four children (136 girls, 128 boys) aged between 8 and 13 years (M Age = 10.88 years, SD = 1.45) completed theory-of-mind tests and self-report questionnaires measuring social motivation. Teachers rated children's social competence at school. Teacher-rated social competence was associated with individual differences in both theory of mind and children's motivation to develop and maintain social relationships. Results suggest that while individual differences in social motivation and theory of mind are partially overlapping, both theory of mind ability and social motivation contribute to successful social interaction at school.
